- XT (medium) – for moderate chewing 🧒
- XXT (firm) – for intense chewing 🧑🦱
ℹ️ Toughness Recommendation
The more frequent and intense the chewing, the firmer the toughness level should be. Beginners should start with Standard or XT.
Standard or XT are also recommended for thumb or pacifier weaning.
XXT should only be chosen for very firm or aggressive chewing – e.g., on hard objects.
🧊 Pro Tip
Chilling in the fridge provides extra sensory input (do not freeze).
